Benefits of technology

The invention is a computer-implemented low-code development platform that allows users to create executable code by configuring step macros through a user interface. The platform includes a library of step macros that users can select and interconnect to generate a compiled step file. The step configuration file is based on user-configurable data points, which are input through the user interface. The platform also includes a source control repository for storing the step configuration file. The invention simplifies the process of creating executable code and allows users to easily customize and test new code.

Problems solved by technology

Existing low-code development platforms may not adequately interpret and display source code schematically in a user interface and there is accordingly scope for improvement.

Embodiment Construction

[0052]Aspects of the present disclosure provide a low-code development platform for developing or creating application software. The low-code development platform described herein may be configured to separate a control flow (being the order in which source code or executable code based on the source code is executed) from the actual execution of the source code / executable code so as to enable a user to define one without the other. In other words, to define the order of flow separately from what is actually executed. In the control flow definitions, characteristics are defined relevant to visual display of the control flow.

[0053]Embodiments of the low-code development platform described herein may include a user interface and a library of step macros.

[0054]The user interface may define a bounded context (referred to a space or operating space) in which roles and actions, and ultimately the application software, relating to a functional unit within an organization, for example, can ...

Abstract

A computer-implemented low-code development platform is provided including a user interface and having access to a library of step macros configured for user configuration and interconnection via the user interface to generate executable code. Each step macro includes a step configuration generator and an execution code generator. The step configuration generator is configured to generate a step configuration file based on user-configurable data points configurable via the user interface. The execution code generator is configured to generate executable code in the form of a compiled step file configured for storage in memory and execution by a processor of a computing system. The execution code generator receives and inputs the step configuration file into a metaprogramming component configured to interpret the user-configurable data points of the step configuration file and to generate and output the compiled step file.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE(S) TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from U.S. provisional patent application No. 62 / 978,241 filed on 18 Feb. 2020, which is incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to a software development platform and in particular to a low-code development platform.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0003]A low-code development platform is a software platform that provides a software development environment that users can use to create application software through graphical user interfaces and configuration instead of traditional computer programming, often termed “hand coding”.[0004]Typically, such platforms may focus on design and development of a particular kind of application: such as databases, business processes, or user interfaces such as web applications. Such platforms may produce entirely operational applications or require additional coding for specific situations. Low-code development platforms may aid in...
